Verification notes
Verified on the Bureau of Statistics' official 2026 internship page, official Terms of Reference and active Bureau-hosted REDCap application form on 2026-09-05 UTC. The official pages do not state an application closing date or closing time, so deadline and deadline_date remain null. Compensation is explicitly left for communication to selected candidates and is therefore not inferred.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
